Abstract

To provide a wiring harness and a routing structure of the wiring harness able to prevent high temperature and its influence caused by heat generation. A wiring harness includes a harness main body having a plurality of high voltage conducting lines. The high voltage conducting lines are arranged with gaps between the adjacent high voltage conducting lines. Further, the plurality of high voltage conducting lines are arranged to maintain an interval as the gap. It becomes a routing structure of the wiring harness when curved portions of such high voltage conducting lines are directly or indirectly made contact with a shield cover covering the wiring harness. Because the high voltage conducting lines of the wiring harness are arranged with gaps between the adjacent high voltage conducting lines, radiation performance of the wiring harness is better than the wiring harness of which high voltage conducting lines are bundled.

Claims (9)

1. A routing structure of a wiring harness comprising:

the wiring harness comprising:

a harness main body including a plurality of high voltage conducting lines arranged with gaps therebetween,

each of the lines having a conductor and an insulator covering the conductor,

wherein each of the lines is in a flat-plate shape with a curved portion in a corresponding location along the length of each of the lines, the curved portion forming a half arc between portions of two sides of the line which lie in a same plane; and

a box-shaped conductive shield cover covering the wiring harness on at least three sides,

wherein outer sides of the curved portions away from a center of curvature of the curved portion of the high voltage conductive lines directly contact the box-shaped conductive shield cover at an inner side of the box-shaped conductive shield cover.

2. The routing structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

a part of the shield cover contacting the curved portion of the high voltage conductive lines is convex.
